Pork Free Chili Powder Blend
Making your own spice blend from scratch is one of those small kitchen moves that pays off every single time you reach for it. This blend layers ancho chile powder, smoked and sweet paprika, cumin, and a touch of cayenne into something deeply complex — smoky, earthy, and just the right amount of warm heat. Store-bought chili powders can be a minefield of hidden additives and mystery fillers, but every ingredient here is straightforward and easy to verify. The whole thing comes together in minutes with nothing more than a bowl and a whisk, then stores in an airtight jar for up to six months. Use it in soups, rubs, marinades, or anywhere you want bold, layered flavor without any guesswork about what's actually in the mix.
